Question:
I am a 32yr old woman and been married to my husband for 13yrs. We have always had great sex but recently (6months) I dry up as soon as he tries to enter. I am excited and wet before but as soon as we try I can feel myself drying and he get very angry at me. I have no control over this and it is very frustrating to me as well. There are many topics on male incompetence but is there such a thing with women?

Vaginal lubrication is something that you cannot consciously control. It is not uncommon for women to notice a decrease in the amount of lubrication she produces as she ages. Also use of certain medications such as antihistamines can cause a reduction in the amount of lubrication a women produces. If the lack of lubrication interferes with your sexual activites/pleasures you should supplement your own bodies lubrication with a water based lubricant. Check out your local pharmacy for over the counter products such as Astroglide or Replens. It is also important to openly communicate your concerns with your husband. If you are becoming stressed over this problem it may also be contributing to your decrease in lubrication.
